Abstract
Proposed in the invention is a scanning image which is produced by a thermotransfer process and which has at least two kinds of scanning elements, wherein at least two kinds of scanning elements are of respectively different dimensions. In addition at least two kinds of scanning elements may respectively involve different, optically effective structures. A thermotransfer foil for the production of such a scanning image is also described.
Description
The present invention relates to be used to make the heat transfer film of scan image.
Known thermal transfer produces halftone dot image (half-toneimage) with a kind of scanning method usually, and the scanning element of common identical size is needed on substrate from heat transfer film, and dot density is according to required scan image brightness and different.If will make the polychrome scan image, then use a heat transfer film therewith explicitly, its transfer printing layer correspondingly is divided into a plurality of zones, and every kind of color is corresponding to a specific transfer printing layer district.During printing, heat transfer film is just crossed substrate according to required color, and produces the chromoscan pixel with printing equipment, and at this moment the not homochromy district of transfer film transfer printing layer conforms to the substrate that will print dimensionally.
Produce the second best in quality scan image when raster that this methods can be rather narrow in use and less scanning element.However, this known existing method or on presumable form, be restricted, or must be with very little site and very little some distance, thereby make cost of equipment very high.So far do not consider to make local matt, the local glossy reflective scan image that promptly has.
Therefore, basic task of the present invention is the possible form of expanded sweep image and can cause king-sized cost of equipment.
For finishing this task, the present invention proposes a kind of heat transfer film that has two kinds of scanning elements of different nature at least that is used to make scan image, it can be transferred on the substrate with the transfer printing layer that produces the different scanning pixel from a carrier has number of areas corresponding to the different scanning pixel, described zone is relevant with dissimilar scanning elements, and correspondingly has a different structure, wherein, the described transfer printing layer in the zones of different has the scanning element of different sizes.
When forming scan image by this way, the spacing or its density that no longer need to change scanning element produce halftone dot image.If might stipulate the scanning element (this may never being used so far) of different size, just available less color density forms the zone of scan image, method is to adopt the less scanning element of diameter, and adopts the bigger scanning element of diameter in the time will obtaining dark color or good covering effect.Especially when scanning element has a special construction, and when for example being reflective, this variation of scanning element size is advantageous, because the variation of scanning element size has obtained special effect of uniform for this structure under such a case.
When at least two kinds of scanning elements respectively have a kind of different optical texture, just produce other possible scan image forms.For example, can form the one scan image by the site of mat surface and the site on glossy surface, thereby not only can make general site or color detection the one scan image, and can also be by formation scan images such as different reflective effects.That method obtains in this way is very special, be different from so far that the scan image of known scan image is difficult to copy especially, and for example can not duplicate with color copy machine, this means that these scan images for example are specially adapted to constantly attempt forge, particularly the marketable securities of usefulness new type colorful duplicator forgery and file is false proof, as is used for bank note, credit card, certificate etc.
Particularly advantageous is that effective optical texture of at least a scanning element especially is an optical grating construction for producing the diffraction structure of diffraction or interference.With this diffraction or interference structure, can produce optical effect far from it, so structures shape used herein is still observed scan image under transmitted light under reverberation.
With original known different structure, for example can also make scan image constitute the image that optical property changes, that is scan image and the angle of diffraction or viewing angle and the used light wavelength of throwing light on change relatively, wherein simple form only is the change in location of colour.In this case, as scanning element, can accomplish that the color of is-symbol on the one hand is that the color of background all changes with viewing angle or illuminating light on the other hand by application examples in order to two kinds of different diffraction structures producing alphabetic characters.
For strengthening this diffraction or interference effect, have at least a kind of scanning element to form and suit with reflective coating, so just make these sites have appropriate brightness.One reflective coating only is used for a kind of scanning element, can and then accomplishes that these scanning elements are much brighter than the scanning element that all the other constitute scan images, thereby obtain in the past unknown image effect on the scan image.Yet, obviously also can make whole scanning elements of constituting scan image be reflection, but possess a different structure respectively, for example the scanning element of some type forms with a kind of optical grating construction, and other scanning elements have the plane reflection film.
Certainly also may be that at least two kinds of scanning elements have different colors respectively, thereby expand presumable form more.
This specification begins the described a kind of heat transfer film that is used to make scan image of the present invention of part, it is characterized in that transfer printing layer has the scanning element of different size in zones of different, so that for example use identical dot density all the time, print closelyer or not closeer scan image position yet might in substrate, make.
Also can suitably form a heat transfer film, make the zones of different of transfer printing layer have the structure of different optical effect respectively.For making scan image, respectively scanning element is transferred in the substrate from the different transfer printing layers zone of structure with different optical effect, heat transfer film must move with respect to substrate with the known methods in hot color press field for this reason, correspondingly the transfer printing layer district with required surface texture is placed the top of substrate relevant position.
If transfer printing layer has a reflecting layer at least in a zone, just can obtain special-effect, at this moment the reflecting layer should be made of metal layer, because scan image just can be made up of echo area and non-echo area like this, if or the Zone Full of transfer printing layer all constitutes reflection, just can obtain bright especially image.
This point is important for the diffraction structure that produces diffraction or interference at the optical texture of transfer printing layer during especially for optical grating construction especially.
For making the scan image of adequate durability due, appropriate is that transfer printing layer has a transparent protective paint layer in a zone adjacent with carrier film at least, because can increase the wearability that is produced on suprabasil scan image like this.
When one transparent protective paint layer was arranged, this layer can have different colours at least two transfer printing layer zones, thereby had started the possibility of making the polychrome scan image.
The optical texture of transfer printing layer should be made by the enamelled coating that this structure is pressed into transfer printing layer.The corresponding impression genealogy of law is learnt from the method for making of hot pressing film with diffraction structure.Here with a making ide with structure be pressed into thermoplastic paint or not fully the sclerosis lacquer.Can be applied to heat transfer film and transfer printing layer thereof fully on these methodological principles, understand the claimed structure degree of depth at most and be adapted to application, because in order to ensure transfer printing layer being transferred to the transfer printing layer thickness that has limited heat transfer film in the substrate with known device with improving.
At last, it can be favourable covering optical texture with protective paint layer for overlaying on a suprabasil transfer printing layer, because to imitated and forgery afterwards, even be not impossible, also increased difficulty.Simultaneously, increased the durability of scan image thus, be subjected to direct mechanical damage because prevented surface texture.
Transfer printing layer basic structure about heat transfer film can be conceived to known film and hot pressing die itself.Unique difference that heat transfer film of the present invention is compared with known heat transfer film, show as heat transfer film of the present invention and in a zone, must finish at least and will be needed on the surface structuration of suprabasil transfer printing layer, therefore must have a rete that can suitably be out of shape.To narrate below about the composition of rete and the details of thickness thereof.
Other features of the present invention, details and advantage are seen with reference to the accompanying drawings the one scan image and are applicable to the embodiment explanation of the heat transfer film that produces this scan image.Accompanying drawing is depicted as:
Fig. 1 is the legend of the one scan image be made up of four kinds of dissimilar scanning elements;
Fig. 2 is the partial schematic diagram that is used for making the heat transfer film of the scan image that four kinds of zoness of different are arranged shown in Figure 1;
Fig. 3 is the skiagraph of film shown in Figure 2, and a bit of of each zone only is shown respectively.
Scan image shown in Figure 1 is made up of four kinds of dissimilar scanning elements.Correspondingly Fig. 2 has four different regional A, B, C and D respectively successively with heat transfer film shown in Figure 3, and they produce a, b, c and d type scanning element.
A type scanning element be bigger, with the scanning element that the size of transfer printing operation used tool is connected airtight accordingly mutually, have in the present embodiment and to be surface level and smooth, constitute reflection through metal coating.
B type scanning element is that area is bigger equally, and has the surface that all is covered with the reflecting layer.Yet shown in B part among Fig. 3, b type scanning element obviously constitutes a structure, and they preferably have optical grating construction, or normally have the diffraction structure that produces diffraction or interference.
The size of a type and b type scanning element only depends on and is used for rightly transfer printing layer being needed on the size of suprabasil instrument, for example (used in the illustrated embodiment round dot is very big for round dot, arrange in succession closely by a type and b type scanning element, can cover substrate comprehensively), and c and d type scanning element and transfer printing layer transfer printing are irrelevant with the diameter of instrument.
A difference of c and d type scanning element is its diameter.The diameter of d type scanning element is significantly greater than the diameter of c type scanning element.The difference of c and d type scanning element also is: c type scanning element has a level and smooth metalized surface, and d type scanning element has structure example as surperficial accordingly with b type scanning element.
In an illustrated embodiment, all scanning element type a, b, c and d respectively have a reflecting layer, so the scan image of Fig. 1 is the all-metal reflection, so false proof in the value documents security of properly using especially.
The see reference detailed description of Fig. 2 and 3 pairs of heat transfer films of other details of a, b, c and d type scanning element.
Especially as seen from Figure 3, the heat transfer film that the present invention is used for making scan image includes slide glass 1, and the direction that it makes progress at Fig. 3 is loaded with original known anti-friction layer 2, and in use this direction towards hot transfer ribbon or piece.On the another side of the slide glass 1 relative, form by multilayer with anti-friction layer 2, in the lump with 3 transfer printing layers that indicate, this transfer printing layer separates with slide glass 1 in caloric transfer printing technology and is fixed in the substrate.For example the substrate for cardboard etc. does not illustrate in the drawings.
From slide glass 1, transfer printing layer 3 always includes an enamelled coating and and is used for enamelled coating is fixed in suprabasil, general adhesive layer 4 that can heat pressure adhesive.
In the illustrated embodiment, the complex structure of transfer printing layer 3 some.Here suppose scanning element respectively have one by the metallization form reflecting layer 5 or 5 '.
For guaranteeing that transfer printing layer 3 is easy to peel off from slide glass 1, slide glass 1 was added with a peel ply 6 before adding all the other each layers of transfer printing layer 3, be generally the wax layer.Then with wax layer 6 adjacent generally be a transparent protective paint layer 7.In addition, usually adhesive layer 4 and metal layer 5 or 5 ' between an adhesive or priming paint (primer) layer 8 are arranged.
The transfer printing layer 3 of Fig. 2 and 3 heat transfer film in zones of different A, B, C and D, always have separating layer 6, transparency protected enamelled coating 7, metal layer 5 or 5 ', be consistent on adhesive phase 8 and the adhesive layer 4.
Yet,, need to do some changes in order to form different scanning element pattern a, b, c and d.
Be used for forming in the regional A of level and smooth big face scanning element a, the level and smooth metal layer 5 on whole is directly arranged on the protective paint layer 7.For producing a type scanning element, (according to the size of transfer printing with round dot) peels off corresponding zone from transfer printing layer 3, and it is transferred in the substrate from slide glass 1.
The heat transfer film B district that is used to produce b type scanning element be equally be equipped with on whole metal layer 5 '.But the difference in it and A district is, metal layer 5 ' and or not level and smooth, but constitute grating structure or other diffraction structures (referring to Fig. 3).For accomplishing this point, transfer printing layer 3 has another enamelled coating 9 that can constitute appropriate configuration between transparent protective paint layer 7 and metal layer 5 in the B district.For this reason, enamelled coating 9 for example can be made of thermoplastic paint, or is made of still deformable lacquer within a certain period of time, thus in reproduction process can with metal layer 5 ' corresponding construction be pressed into enamelled coating 9.B type scanning element is also correspondingly made with a type site, separates the part that is equivalent to the round dot size from transfer printing layer 3, and with round dot it is transferred in the substrate.
Therefore, for a and b type scanning element, the size of the scanning element of making only depends on the resolution ratio of the thermal printer or other equipment that are used for making scanning element.
On the contrary, the formation situation of the zone C of heat transfer film and D is: the size of corresponding c and d type scanning element and the size of corresponding molding transfer tool are irrelevant.That is the scanning element size that occurs at zone C and D by the metal layer 5 or 5 that exists ' area pre-determine.This also shows, basically respectively with regional A or corresponding zone C of B and D in only be the part have metal layer 5,5 '.Metal layer provides with the shape of corresponding scanning element, and metal layer is level and smooth in zone C, then constitutes and the area B corresponding structure on the contrary in region D.
As can be seen from Figure 3, the size of the scanning element that in zone C, produces or diameter by metal layer 5 less than metallization structure district 5 in the heat transfer film region D ' diameter.
For forming scanning element c, d from zone C, D, the diameter of used round dot greater than (perhaps also less than) metal layer 5 or 5 ' in be rendered as the metalized portion of c or b type scanning element.At this moment normally used round dot and a are corresponding with b type scanning element, can make scanning element cover the whole area of substrate.After being transferred in the substrate, zone C or D still forming scanning element c and the d that size is significantly less than the size of scanning element a and b, wherein C-scan pixel has gloss, and d type scanning element is because corresponding structure, and for example optical grating construction can produce spe-cial optical effects.In addition, it seems on d type scanning element is apparent that its reason is metalized portion 5 ' greater than metalized portion 5 greater than c type scanning element.
Therefore, as indicated above, the difference of a, b, c and d type scanning element is structure on the one hand.A and c type scanning element have smooth surface, and b and d type scanning element have optical texture, and this structure is mainly the diffraction structure that produces diffraction or interference, and suitable is optical grating construction.
Another difference of dissimilar scanning elements is its size at least on apparent.A and b type scanning element are bigger in the embodiment shown, therefore, during with heat transfer machine pointwise transfer printing scanning element with the whole surface coverage of substrate.On the contrary, c and d type scanning element are less apparent, therefore even when a kind of scanning element is transferred to each intended substrate position, does not still finish by scanning element c and d and cover the whole surface of substrate.Yet under present case, obtain this effect, only be since for example metal layer 5,5 ' etc. the optics apparent area of scanning element present different sizes.But, in fact when making c and d type scanning element also transfer printing be equivalent to the part of the transfer printing layer of whole scanning element surface area, therefore, even in the zone of c and d type scanning element, when in transfer process, being full of whole scanning elements position, the material of transfer printing layer 3 is arranged all on the whole area.
But, certainly also can produce the scanning element of different-diameter within the scope of the invention with additive method, replace on the suitable partial face metal layer 5,5 '.For example, can in transfer printing layer 3, form colored site, and they need not to imbed in protective paint layer or the similar layer.Under the simplest situation, only can imagine fully only to add a suitable adhesive layer then that at this moment this adhesive layer also need not to exceed the scope of scanning element to the scanning element of required size with being pressed on the transfer film 1 and being pressed in sometimes on the separating layer 6.By for example adopting lusterless paint and gloss paint, under the scanning element situation of different colours, also can obtain different structure.
Be further noted that, particularly exist possibility, to produce different colour effects to the lacquer 9 suitable dyeing of transparency protected enamelled coating 7 or formation structure.In addition, can also be applied when only preparing in one or several zone with metal layer on the methodological principle of the present invention, other zones of heat transfer film then do not have metal layer.
Therefore, scan image of the present invention can different version be realized, wherein suitably changes the structure and the color of scanning element diameter, scanning element, just can start many possibilities for desirable form.
The following describes the material and the bed thickness of each layer of a kind of heat transfer film of the present invention.Heat transfer film in principle can be by following formation: anti-friction layer (2): bed thickness 0.1 to 1.0 μ m slide glass (1): polyethylene terephthalate, bed thickness is 3.5 to 12 μ m separating layers (6): wax layer (ester type waxes that dropping point is 90 ℃), bed thickness 0.005 to
0.05 μ m protective paint layer (7): bed thickness 0.4 to 2.0 μ m can constitute the enamelled coating (9) of structure: bed thickness whole area of 0.2 to 1.2 μ m or local metal layer (5,5 '): aluminium, bed thickness 0.005 to 0.05 μ m adhesive layer agent (8): the adhesive layer (4) of bed thickness 0.2 to 1.2 μ m energy heat pressure adhesive: bed thickness 0.5 to 5 μ m
Different layers can be formulated as follows: anti-friction layer (2) (back side) umber butanone 810 cyclohexanone 125 acetopropionate celluloses 50 (210 ℃ of fusing points) Kynoar 15 (density=1.7g/cm by weight
3) protective paint layer (7) umber butanone 455 ethyl acetate 240 cyclohexanone, 60 methyl methacrylates (methylmethacrylate) 245 (about 105 ℃ of Tg=) by weight
Enamelled coating (9) umber butanone 400 ethyl acetates 260 butyl acetates, 160 polymethyl methacrylates 150 (about 170 ℃ of softening temperature) the styrene copolymers (styrenecopolymer) 30 (about 100 ℃ of softening temperature) by weight that For making color scanning image, can add different soluble colorants or pigment when needing. can consist of structure increase adhesive layer (4) umber butanone 380 toluene 400 ethylene vinyl acetate trimers 60 (66 ℃ of fusing points) ketone resins (fusing point 85-90 ℃) 80 vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers 70 (80 ℃ of the fusing points) silica 10 by weight that the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate dimer 95 (Tg=80 ℃) of attached dose (8) umber butanone 450 toluene 455 hydrogeneous oxygen groups by weight can heat pressure adhesive
Transfer printing layer 3 is made of known basically method at the localized metallic layer of zone C and D.For example, in the printing of point-like grating, apply the metal layer 5 of method lining with common steaming, 5 ' can be with a kind of anticorrosive paint pointwise printing, anticorrosive paint can have following prescription: by weight umber butanone 550 ethyl acetates 175 cyclohexanone 50 polyurethane resins 100 of anticorrosive paint (fusing point 〉=200 ℃) polyvinyl chloride trimer 120 (Tg=90 ℃) silica 5
Anticorrosive paint should apply with the grating roller of electronics method engraving, and this roller generally prints two grating regions with different scanning pixel size or scanning element density at least.At this moment can use following size:
Scanning element density 54/cm
Carving depth 50 μ m
Cup diagonal (Cup diagonal) 110 μ m ± 5 μ m
Width of land (Land width) 75 μ m ± 5 μ m or
Cup diagonal 125 μ m ± 5 μ m
Width of land 60 μ m ± 5 μ m or
Cupping diagonal 170 μ m ± 5 μ m
Width of land 15 μ m ± 5 μ m
After applying anticorrosive paint and treating that it suitably solidifies, for example available aqueous based solution in zone (pH 〉=10) of metal layer 5,5 ' be not capped at room temperature erodes.
But the localized metallicization also additive method of available reported in literature realizes, for example steams bottom or uses another kind of etching method with the resistance of water-soluble/alcohol, perhaps can also carve with laser and remove, and for example carves with the Nd-YAG laser instrument and removes.
The difference branch series of strata of transfer printing layer 3 are used in the known method in hot pressing die field and are coated on the slide glass 1, so it seems and need not this respect is explained again.
Make scan image shown in Figure 1 and can take distinct methods.A kind of may be that the metallized heat transfer film of whole area (seeing the regional A and B of embodiment) preferably has the different optical texture of a plurality of forms, with raster-like it is transferred in the substrate, for example on the plastic cards.Here should realize the control of hot transfer printing by the software systems of control computer and modular structure.For example can use resolution ratio is the thermal printer of 16 points/mm, and grating can have difformity, as circle, rectangle, have fillet, or the like.
Another possibility (be equivalent to zone C and D work with the heat transfer film of embodiment) is to use the heat transfer film of a localized metallicization, this film for example correspondingly has a plurality of different optical textures with C and D district, wherein also produce the grating region of different sites size by localized metallicization, also be that scan image is made in the transfer printing that image-region is done whole zone in this case, but these image-regions have different scanning element size and scanning element density.
To the effective surface area structure of optics, the structure as predetermined in the area B of embodiment and the D so for example, can (shape (straight line, rectangle or sinusoidal grid structure) of 500-2000 line/mm), the grid line degree of depth (0.2-2.0 μ m) and grid changes, and at this moment can freely select or make up suitable structure and adapt to required effect by different grid line numbers.
Therefore, the different images zone of scan image or the type of scanning element, its difference are different color under different sizes, different optical texture and some situation, this means that scan image of the present invention can have extremely various form and combination.In addition, because special structure can make scan image provide highly reliable false proof, particularly use the forgery of color photocopying method.The different color of scanning element system does different painted and realize to protective paint layer.
